1. Introduction
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is an examination that
primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidates in
various undergraduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture
and post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a
candidate reflects a relative performance level in a particular subject in
the examination across several years. The score is used for admissions
to post-graduate programs (e.g., M.E./M.Tech/ Direct Ph.D.) in centrally
funded Indian Institutes of higher education (i.e., Institutes which are
provided with financial assistance by MHRD and other Government
agencies). The score is also used by some Public and Private Sector
Undertakings for employment processes in India. Direct recruitment to
Group A level posts i.e., Senior Field Officer (SFO Tele), Senior Research
Officer (SRO) (Crypto) and SRO (S&T) in Cabinet Secretariat are also
carried out on the basis of GATE scores.
This year GATE 2017 examination shall be held in Bangladesh,
Ethiopia, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and United Arab Emirates for
admissions of candidates from these nationalities in IITs and IISc.
The information in this brochure is mainly categorized into PreExamination (Eligibility, Application submission, Examination Centers
etc.), Examination (Syllabus, Pattern, Marks/Score, Model Question
Papers etc.) & Post-Examination (Answers, Results, Scorecard etc.)

6. Post-Examination Related Information
6.1 GATE Score
After the evaluation of the answers, the raw marks obtained by a candidate
will be converted to a normalized GATE Score.
The GATE score will be computed using the formula given below.
Calculation of Normalized Marks for CE, CS, EC, EE and ME papers
(multi-session papers)
In GATE 2017, examination for some papers may be conducted in multisessions. Hence, for these papers, a suitable normalization is applied to take
into account any variation in the difficulty levels of the question papers
across different sessions. The normalization is done based on the
fundamental assumption that "in all multi-session GATE papers, the
distribution of abilities of candidates is the same across all the sessions".
This assumption is justified since the number of candidates appearing in
40
is given by
where
: is the actual marks obtained by the jth candidate in ith session
: is the average marks of the top 0.1% of the candidates considering all
sessions

GATE is jointly administered and conducted by the Indian Institute of
Science and seven Indian Institutes of Technology. Table 9.1 gives the
details of each Zonal Office. Each of the institutes administers a zone and
caters to a list of examination cities that fall under that zone. Candidates
are assigned a zone at the time of application, based on the first city of
choice. Candidates must note this zone number for contact purposes.
Candidates must first try to read FAQs. If a query if not resolved even
after going through FAQs, then they should use GOAPS (GATE Online
Application Processing System) to contact zonal GATE offices, which will
provide quicker and clearer information.
